Description
How did Americans come to believe that markets were the answer to everything? Why don't people trust the government to efficiently allocate resources in a way that creates the greatest good? Who orchestrated this century-long con of the American people? Dr. Naomi Oreskes and Dr. Erik Conway, co-authors of the eye-opening book "Merchants of Doubt", join the show to discuss their new book "The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market." Our conversation only scratches the surface of everything they uncovered while trying to get to the origin of the market fundamentalism myth that has dominated American popular culture for the last 100 years, and how that myth has led to the climate crisis we're facing today.
